The purpose of this list is to give an indication of the district, sub-region or local area where the event occurred.

Groups recording information will need to compile a list of provinces, districts, areas, towns, cities, etc., so that entries are consistent. Organisations can use official maps and lists with the administrative division of the country concerned to compile this list. They may want to co-operate with other organisations in their country or region in order to standardise this local Micro-thesaurus.

This Micro-thesaurus is used for field 112 Local Geographical Area in the Event format.
